How many square yards are in a square lot 87 feet wide?

Answer 1

To find the area of a square lot, we do the same thing as we would for a rectangular lot. With a rectantular lot, it's length times width. With a square lot (a square being a special case of a rectangle where the length equals the width), we just multiply one side by another side. Another way to say that is that we square a side to find the area of a square. In this case, 87 feet x 87 feet = 87 feet2 = 7569 square feet (or ft2).
